Conferences
ILIAD is a 100+ person conference about alignment with a mathematical focus. ILIAD is an unconference—meaning that participants can propose and lead their own sessions. We believe that this is the best way to release the latent creative energies in everyone attending.
The ILIAD conferences are the premier gathering for all things theory and alignment. Topics include: Singular Learning Theory, Agent Foundations, Causal Incentives, Computational Mechanics, Safety-by-Debate, Scalable Oversight and more.
